I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to mention it.

I'm old enough that I should really pick a different handle. BC_Woman would be a little too in-between BC_2004 and American Woman. I can't do BC_bud because that's too close to bud, so I don't know. I'm thinking BCC for Beautiful British Columbia. The acronym would allude to my former handle and others can think of driving behind me. Or being blind-carbon-copied, whichever they prefer.

I became a vegan the day I watched a video of a calf being born on a factory farm. The baby was dragged from his mother before he hit the ground. The helpless calf strained its head backwards to find his mother. The mother bolted after her son and exploded into a rage when the rancher slammed the gate on her. She wailed the saddest noise I’d ever heard an animal make, and then thrashed and dug into the ground, burying her face in the muddy placenta. I had no idea what was happening; respecting brain chemistry, animal instinct, or whatever. I just knew that this was deeply wrong. I just knew that such suffering could never be worth the taste of milk and veal. I empathized with the cow and the calf and, in doing, my life changed. James McWilliams.

When I was a kid I lived in a cabin in the woods (north of 53º) that has no electricity, no running waster, no insulation. Lived in it all winter Hauled water from a hand operated pump well, cut our own wood, and had to build a fire every morning in the cast-iron stove that served as the only heat source, because it was below zero inside!

As ancient as that story sounds, it's not nearly as long ago as some of you are probably thinking.


No, it wasn't in Attawapiskat!

I remember using an outhouse when I was kid, and I lived in the city...dropping your drawers mid winter in saskatchewan yikes!

Man, I had blocked out the memories of the outhouse. It's all rushing back now!!

Lying in bed in the middle of a northern Manitoba winter, the fire having burned out hours ago, and the house already cooled down to well below zero. Those layered blankets pulled right up over your head, and the sudden realization that you have to go to the bathroom. It's too cold to even pull the covers back, never mind get your boots and coat on. When you finally realize that you're not going to be able to hold it any longer, you suit up and trudge through the snow to the outhouse in that vicious -45 windchill, quickly drop drawers and sit on the coldest toilet seat in the word.

For those still thinking that this must have been back in frontier days or something... we are talking about the mid-1980's.

I'm glad we had this poll. It shows more age distribution here than I had thought.

Cheers to MLW old, wise, young & sharp...

We used to have to walk to school ten miles in de snowstorm, and I had only paper shoes, when I was a kid back in Guadalajara.
